lyrics

If you knew today all you will know tomorrow
Imagine what a nightmare that would be
All the thrills, the boredom and the sorrow
Engraved in granite for eternity

Walk through the left door  - you live and learn 
Walk through the right  - you crash and burn

Surrounded by a million strident voices
Wondering which talk true and which tell lies
Confronted by unpalatable choices
Puzzles for the worthy and the wise

On the surface everything looks fine
Deep down you’re sinking
Holed beneath the waterline

Sometimes I sit in silent meditation
Watching as my breath flows in and out
The object of my idle contemplation
Is what it means & what it's all about
